The system enables candidates to register and reschedule their tests online or through a Pearson VUE call centre.

“We’re very excited about our new partnership with Pearson VUE, said Marie Claude Saliba, Founder and General Manager of Educom Overseas“The Pearson VUE Testing System is the most powerful available and gives us unparalleled control and flexibility over our ability to manage our business our way and the agreement means we can easily offer same-day testing, or bring testing to our customers’ locations.

The list of certification tests available from test sponsors through the Pearson VUE system is continually growing. Test results are quickly transmitted back, ensuring the candidate’s certification status is promptly updated.
